Xamarin is a new cross-platform development tool based on the Microsoft technology stack, which allows major platforms to share 90% of the code. With Xamarin tools, mobile applications can share a single language, C#, while still possessing all native features.
As part of Visual Studio, Xamarin is open source and available for all under the MIT license. Aside from Xamarin’s simplified maintenance and complete toolset, there are several reasons why its use has grown in popularity.
PROS:
When using Xamarin for development, the cross-platform tools are a built-in part of the integrated development environment, thus no need to switch between the environments. In addition, using platform-specific user interface elements, Xamarin allows you to create flawless experiences while still being classified as native. Linking with native libraries and giving access to platform-specific APIs, Xamarin allows for better customization and provides native-level functionality.
CONS :
There are a few drawbacks to developing with Xamarin, such as a delay in support for the latest iOS and Android releases. While claiming to provide same-day support yet being a third-party tool, it’s nearly impossible for the Xamarin developer team to implement changes and introduce new plug-ins immediately.
Although Xamarin has a dedicated education platform, Xamarin University, and a smaller community than iOS or Android, it can be challenging finding an experienced Xamarin developer. Another drawback is that, for the most part, Xamarin’s user interface code is platform-specific, so you can only share the logic. This means Xamarin does not prove of much value when creating complex animations, developing rich custom user interfaces, or when building games.
There’s a lot of IoT SCADA solutions for factories and other manufacturing needs. Yet, there are cases (and quite a lot), when you need to develop your own SCADA system to cover specific needs of your project.
We often use awesome Qt framework for implementing complex IoT solutions. For a bunch SCADA and SCADA-like projects, we came across the need for quick tool for developing device dashboards. That’s why we developed super lightweight unofficial Qt library. The library is open source, customizable, and free to use under MIT license. We also share a small set of developed widgets.
Enjoy and use Qt ;)
README: This library is created for desktop, mobile, and embedded projects developed on Qt. To use it, you should know Qt/ C++ and QML.
Food Delivery App: Licensed vs Open Source Code www.v3cube.com
● In the food ordering app, Licensed and source code both have become the rivals from a long time.
● Not one correct answer to solve this puzzle between these two.
So, if you choose anyone among them, you have to lift up your requirements and usage.
● Here, we talk about the food delivery app like uber source code.
● It can be used only by the owner, author or the person who has paid some amount of money.
April was yet another productive month with exciting feature releases. We always want users to have a great experience using Orangescrum.
Enabling collaboration, ensuring project data confidentiality, personalization and smooth navigation within Orangescrum was the focus of the month.
Let’s us review what’s in store and how you can experience it firsthand!
Cloud Edition Updates:
- User Role Management Feature for Cloud Edition:
Orangescrum started with the most demanding features of our cloud users. Here’s Orangescrum’s ‘User Role Management‘ feature that provides clarity to your teams with well-defined roles & responsibilities.
Is your organization struggling to manage multiple user roles securely and effectively?
What Makes It Stand Out From The Rest?
Orangescrum account previously had only 4 roles – Owner, Admin, User and Client with some restricted access.
That is not strange at all, that the majority of those, who are deeply interested in the contribution into that really interesting and potentially successful environment are looking for the opportunities to do so.
For instance, nowadays, we could see a rapid increase in the number of open source applications upon different platforms.
So, making a long story short, an open source software is a software, which makes it possible for a user to view, copy and edit the code.
For instance, one of the most popular and famous proprietary softwares could be called Windows, Apple, WinRAR or App Store.
It erected, when different groups of programmers came up with an idea, that it seems to be impossible any more to follow the old traditions of the pioneers of that business, and there is a great need in a more open and free market.
There are several pretty important points, which give us an opportunity to say, that the open source softwares are one of the best modern decisions for the whole world of cyber industry.
